Tennis elbow usually builds over time, often after weeks or months of gripping, lifting or repetitive hand work. You may notice a sharp pull when picking up a kettle, carrying shopping bags or typing for long periods. When you come in, we check how the forearm behaves during simple tasks, feel for areas that are working too hard and look at how the shoulder and upper back are supporting the movement. This helps us understand whether the irritation is sitting mainly in the tendon or if the surrounding muscles are driving the strain. Our focus for tennis elbow remains to:
- Calm the overworked forearm muscles with steady, hands-on release
- Introduce tendon-friendly strengthening that builds tolerance without flaring symptoms
- Refine grip and shoulder mechanics that may be overloading the elbow
- Review progress regularly so exercises advance only when the area is ready
Tendon discomfort changes slowly but steadily with the right approach. We keep the plan manageable, adjust intensity session by session and help you find movements that allow the elbow to settle while still keeping your day flowing.
